The updated and enhanced Q50 will snuggle into the middle of the Nissan sister company’s luxury sedan with a focus on upgraded driver assistant technology.

The Q50 will remain surprisingly afford with a presumed MSRP coming in around the mid $30,000 range. That buys the extensive suite of driver assistance technologies, including: Direct Adaptive Steering; Active Lane Control; Intelligent Cruise Control; Distance Control Assist; Backup Collision Intervention; Blind Spot Warning and Intervention; Lane Departure Warning and Prevention; Forward Emergency Braking and Predictive Forward Collision Warning.
The Q50’s power train options get a tune up from the VR powertrain family, including the 3.0 liter V6 twin turbo engine. The other engines options include a 2.0 liter turbocharged, four cylinder; a Direct Response Hybrid system and a higher output version of the 3.0 liter engine (available on the Red Sport 400, top tuned edition of the Q50).
